Beth Dobbin prize money
Beth Dobbin has been paid $15,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 702nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the women's 200 m, the best of them 2nd.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.

The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,250 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the eight starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Beth Dobbin won?
$15,250, which ranks 702nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2021 and 2022.
What is Beth Dobbin's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 200 m at the 2022 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Beth Dobbin gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the women's 200 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Has Beth Dobbin ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. She is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Beth Dobbin earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
